Security Guard to Support Worker (in training)

From providing security to truly making a difference. As a security guard, you know how important calm, overview, and clarity are, especially when tension rises. Those qualities are of great value to people with an intellectual disability. At Ipse de Bruggen, you get the chance to retrain as a support worker. With a training program and good guidance, you will grow into a meaningful role in which you ensure safety, structure, and a pleasant living environment for clients.

At Ipse de Bruggen, we are ready for clients with a disability. We offer care, structure, and a warm atmosphere. Together, we enjoy activities such as walking, cycling, and cooking. Sometimes we find it difficult to understand emotions and the world around us and to express this. Therefore, we may sometimes express ourselves physically or verbally when we are overwhelmed. This is also referred to as "difficult-to-understand behavior."

We are looking for a support worker (perhaps more of a security guard +), who is always by our side, in good times and bad. "I am here for you" is very important to us. When we pose a danger to our environment or ourselves, we need protection. It can be frightening, but we hope that you can help us in those situations.
